across the lake by special arrangement with the officials of the international aviation meet association this will be an added feature to the day's programme al ready replete with extraordinary exhibitions the total distance covered by atwood in his wonderful flight from st louis to Chicago was 283 miles and frequently he scudded through the air at a mile a minute when man and machine settled gently in front of the grand stand in grant park both looked fit to continue the 1,460-mile flight to boston amid cheers from the throng which had been listening for hours to bul letins of his approach the cross-country voyager brought his wood and can vas vehicle to a perfect landing mile a minute in long stretches â€¢ although he was 9 hours 54 minutes and 30 seconds en route from st louis to Chicago counting from the time he left the sod of forest park to the moment his wheels dug into the mud of aviation field atwood was not flying all that time he tarried two hours and a half at springfield and two hours more at pontiac on the straight stretches out in the country atwood went at a clip that , ; would have left the fastest express train in the extravagant language of horsey

aviation field at grant park at 3:15 o'clock this afternoon i far ahead of his schedule i am so far ahead of my schedule that i won't even need to hurry he said laughingly when asked when he would start the second leg of his flight if the same luck attends him on the balance of bis trip to new york and boston every endurance and distance record of the world promises to be broken and a new epoch marked in the history of aviation atwood's actual flying time in the air for the entire distance from st louis to Chicago was 5 hours and 40 minutes or an average speed of 50.7 miles per hour he was to have landed at the iair grounds in springfield but the crowds were so great that he was forced to bring his machine to rest a mile or more north of the city at 12:45 he took to the air agaia_is next sched uled stop being at bloomington but here again crowds interfered and as they occupied the only available landing ground he was forced to continue on to pontiac where he landed again at 2 30 here he took on oil and gaso line the first and only supplies during the entire day shortly before 6 o'clock a bulletin'was received by the aviation officials in grant park that the cross-country flyer was due in Chicago at 6:30 and from that moment 50,000 eyes were glued to the sky toward the southwest waiting for his appearance at 6:10 a tiny black dot scarcely bigger than â€¢ bin loomed up

minutes through route card are declared farce city traction expert finds or dinances are being dis obeyed charging that the street railway com panies have made the through-routing service a farce on many of the important lines between the three sections of the city traction expert m c buckley will ask the city council's local transporta tion committee this afternoon to support his demand that the traction corporations live up to the ttu'dugh-routing provisions of the traction settlement ordinances of i'.ot although it is more than four years . since the settlement ordinances went into effect the through routes guaranteed under the ordinances have been onlv par tially installed it is charged in the lines where the through-route service has been inaugurated there is no serious at tempt to operate the through-route ears on schedules approximating any reason able degree of regularity is another accu sation makes thorough investigation since his appointment by mayot hi*i riscju a few months ago buckley has been making an exhaustive investigation of the through-route service it is said that the conditions which he has found and which will comprise the bulk of his report to the transportation committee demonstrate that the traction companies are playing horse with this branch of the service when the settlement ordinances were passed the terms of the ordinances pre scribed that a grand total of twenty one through routes be in operation at the time of the expiratiou of the period al lowed for rehabilitation the rehabilita tion of the west and north side tracks was completed some months ago and ou the south side the work was finished about two years ago the through-route service however has beeu neglected it is alleged there are four lines for which through routes ate stipulated that have no through route cars in operation and on the re mainder of the twenty-one guaranteed through routes the service is disgracefully inadequate according to the investigators for the traction expert it was found that when complaints from one district bring more cars on a through route there is a mysterious dim inution in the number of through-route cars on other lines effective remedy sought now to find an effective remedy for this alleged jugglmg of the through-route service is one of the problems that the local transportation committee is to be asked to solve it is said to be probable that the city's law department will be asked by the committee to give an opin ion pointing out the legal means whereby the traction companies can be compelled to act in a series of observations buckley says he found through-route cars scheduled for a four-minute schedule on clark street gave only an eight-minute sei'vice or worse on the milwaukee avenue halsted

known in social circles of new york newport st louis and los - angeles denial of the application of the wife's ' suit brought on thc simple and convenient ! i ground of desertion was sudden sensa ; tional and startling so anxious was the â– husband for his wife to get her decree i that he allowed the case to go by default i but judge hauser suspecting collusion in sisted that borden submit himself to inter rogation and his presence killed the issue for he positively refused to answer the court's questions the wife will take an immediate appeal to the supreme court court wants mask lifted pathetic and dramatic was the court setting gail borden the multi-millionaire was on the witness stand in the role of a reluctant witness his wife sirs helen valk borden had closed her case telling the court that in july 1809 she had been deserted previously they had signed sep . aration papers in which borden gave his wife 75,000 worth of real estate and ar ranged to pay her 500 a month during her life she guarded the family secrets tell ing only that they disagreed over the bringing up the schooling and the social life of their only child ramona a sweet sixteen-year-old college girl it was when the husband corpulent and smiling indifferently took the stand in compliance with the court's order that the situation grew exciting he and his attor ney eugene overton were thunderstruck they expected the judge simply wanted to know if collusion existed and the million aire w^s fully prepared to show that it did not it was the hidden facts that the court wanted he gave borden to under stand that if he refused to remove the fam ily mask there would be no decree granted and there was a moment of expectancy when borden hesitated the longer he re flected the more uneasy became the wife borden refuses to testify borden agreed to disclose the history of his family troubles if the judge excluded everybody save the witnesses that judge hauser would not do there are no secret divorce proceedings in my department retorted judge hau ser i want you mr borden to under stand that rich and poor are alike to me in my courtroom it is optional with you whether you wish to tell all or have the case thrown out of court borden peered over his eyeglasses at his wife who glanced defiantly back and then he positively refused to testify judge hauser promptly denied the appli cation for
